Highway of Death Highway 80 is a six-lane road that runs through the desert between Iraq and Kuwait. When notorious dictator Saddam Hussein decided to invade Kuwait in August 1990, it was a perfect thoroughfare for his rampaging armies. They met little resistance and the trip must have seemed like little more than a vacation. But a few months later when coalition forces arrived to liberate Kuwait, Highway 80 became the focal point of a desperate retreat and utter carnage, as thousands of Iraqis fled the overwhelming forces pursuing them. Highway 80 became forever known as the “Highway of Death.” In the path of righteousness is life, and in its pathway there is no death. Proverbs 12:28 Do your plans for today have you on a path of righteousness…or some other road? The easiest and broadest path may seem right for the moment, but it could be the Highway of Death. How can you know the way to go? First, set aside your own ideas about what is right and be open to whatever path God chooses for you. Then spend time studying His Word, the Bible, allowing it to penetrate your thoughts. Finally, pray and ask God for wisdom. Those who do these things – individuals, nations and leaders – will receive His divine directions…and life.
